In a recent interview with Adam Corolla, American Idol alum, Clay Aiken talked about his personal journey of coming out gay.
He describes it as a really slow process, and if he hadn’t grown up in North Carolina, where people generally hid their sexuality, he might have come to terms with it earlier. In high school, he didn’t know exactly what “gay” was. It was coming to Los Angeles for Idol when he fully realized who he was.
I think it’s time for Clay to write an update to his 2005 memoir, Learning to Sing.
Also, Clay has a song coming out on December 20 called “Bring Back Your Love”. You can listen to a clip at Amazon.com or a longer clip at 99.3 WALK.
